汶萊華人對「一帶一路」倡議的認知、回應與應對策略

The Knowledge, Responses and Strategies of the Ethnic Chinese in Brunei Darussalam on the Belt and Road Initiative

汶萊是東協的成員國之一，自古代開始與中國就有著緊密的聯繫。近年來，隨著中國「一帶一路」倡議的提出與開展，越來越多的中資企業和中國公民進入汶萊，給當地社會帶來了一定的影響。本文基於自2019 年9月下旬至2020 年1 月在汶萊首都斯里百加灣市，對來自政府、商業、社團和教育領域的17 名汶萊華人商業精英和社團領袖（13 名男性和4 名女性）的訪談資料，通過梳理當地華人內部環境的結構和商業環境的肌理，結合汶萊社會文化語境，從多個層面分析當地華人對於「一帶一路」的看法。文章認為，目前多數汶萊華人對「一帶一路」倡議理解不透徹，認為給他們帶來的利益有限。文章建議，未來兩國可進一步解決和完善在人員溝通、資訊公開、民眾互信、產業規劃和文化宣傳方面的問題。

As a member state of ASEAN, Brunei Darussalam has historically maintained a close relationship with China. In recent years, following China’s implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, there has been a rise in Chinese FDIs, enterprises and new migrants in Brunei. This new phenomenon has brought some implications to the local society. Using interview data collected from 17 Chinese Bruneian (13 male and 4 female) elites in various fields encompassing government, business, community and education, this article critically examines the responses of the ethnic Chinese on the BRI in Brunei. Considering the internal dynamics of the Chinese community, business environment and society structures in Brunei, the article argues that most Chinese Bruneians lack comprehensive understanding of the BRI; and they do not think that the BRI benefit them sufficiently. The article proposes that for the BRI to be successful in Brunei, more efforts need to be invested in promoting people-to-people exchange, open communication, information sharing, mutual trust and downstream business opportunities.
